Abstract
A method of introducing therapeutic, cosmetic, and dyeing agents in buffer medium created by the electrophoretic flow of these solutions into the hair. The result is to increase the therapeutic effect of treatments for the hair including hair growth and regeneration. Other results include the even and stable dyeing of hair due to the increased adhering properties created through the electrophoretic device and the solutions used with it. These solutions include, but are not limited to, those dyeing and therapeutic agents which do not readily stick to the hair or those which may form unstable compounds.
Claims10
A method of dyeing hair comprising the steps of:
- applying a solution containing a dyeing agent to hair;
- and
- generating an electric field within the hair of sufficient strength and duration to induce flow and coupling of the dyeing agent to the hair by electrophoresis wherein generation of the electric field comprises forming a plurality of positive electrodes and a plurality of negative electrodes juxtaposed the positive electrodes.
